Recovery is a deeply personal journey, and for many women, finding a specialized, supportive environment is key to lasting sobriety. At Coastal Detox of Southern California, our women’s inpatient rehab program addresses gender-specific issues that arise from, or contribute to, drug and alcohol addiction.Â
Our Pacific Beach residential property features two villa-style houses for patients, ensuring plenty of room for appropriate gender separation. We recognize and validate all gender expressions and identities, and are committed to offering a safe, nurturing, and empowering sanctuary.
San Diego’s Coastal Detox is a place where you can focus entirely on healing, free from external pressures, protected and surrounded by peers and professionals who understand your experience. Call our admissions team today if you’re ready to change your life for the better.
The experience of addiction is often unique for women, requiring a tailored approach to treatment that acknowledges and addresses gender-specific factors. Research shows that women often start using substances later in life than men, but progress to dependency more quickly.Â
Women face a high incidence of co-occurring mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety, as well as PTSD, which is frequently linked to relationship trauma or a history of sexual abuse.
Our specialized women’s rehab program focuses on:
While Coastal Detox treats both men and women, we are equipped to offer our female residents gender-specific bedrooms and bathrooms for the duration of their treatment. Our priority is ensuring all patients feel safe and supported, and our care staff recognizes that women often prefer separation from male patients.Â
Â
The clinical and support staff at Coastal Detox is gender diverse, and we can ensure a woman-only care team of therapists and medical staff if requested. During your initial intake assessment, we’ll go over your preferred arrangements and do our best to accommodate your needs with the given mix of other patients at that time. A women’s only group for group therapy sessions will be arranged whenever we have enough female residents to populate it.Â

During treatment, women at Coastal Detox of Southern California’s inpatient program can expect:
If you are pregnant or suspect you might be, it is absolutely essential to inform our admissions team and medical staff immediately. Addiction treatment during pregnancy requires specialized medical care, as certain withdrawal protocols and medications can pose risks to the developing fetus.
Coastal Detox of Southern California prioritizes the health and safety of both mother and baby.
Never attempt to detox alone if pregnant. The risks associated with unsupervised withdrawal can be severe for both mother and child. Please call us to discuss your options for a medically supervised and safe detoxification.
Women in Coastal Detox’s rehab program participate in a personalized mix of addiction therapies customized to suit their individual substance use habits, triggers, mental health conditions, any history of trauma and relational issues.
